The Wet-Nurse King

DER AMMENKÖNIG (Original Title)

Rather coarse, pre-War comedy about a Markgraf -- Heinrich XXVI -- who bathes in the springs of the Ammendorf to strengthen his potency. The town is well known for the many couples with lots of children, who, for tax reasons, live there unmarried. The local hunk, who is also the town’s blacksmith, provides his vitality to ensure the countess has an heir to the throne.
